In reply to Re: what med would have a similar effect to serzone?, posted by zeebop on July 28, 2004, at 4:47:48
Hi Zeebop:
I never heard/read the following meds. except Trazodone.
It sounds to me like all of those ADs are 'older,' ... but I wonder about their 'efficacy?'>>>AD's that have potent 5ht2 antagonism apart from Nefazodone :
Amitriptyline
Trimipramine
Clomipramine
Nortriptyline
Dothiepin
Trazodone
Mianserin
Mirtazapin<<<
Since I had no tolerance on all of SSRIs, then my pdoc. rxed Serzone which did help me tremendously. However, due to the mass' dosage along with more than 3 years' use, my system seemed NOT able to handle Serzone.Currently, I'm on around 100 mg. Trazodone, although I was on 450 mg. Serzone/Nefadone for the past three years. For me, it's so amazing this, 'tiny' dosage 100 mg. Traz. has been taking place of 450 mg. Serzone.
However, I'm worrying about whether this 'small' dosage continue helping the depressive side of my Bp.Your opinion and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
H.G.
